What a treat! Friends wanted to take me to lunch and Gaslight was one of the options. Not having been there before, I jumped at the chance to try something new. Wow for Old School! The decor was from a past time period, but very well maintained and elegant nonetheless. The host was in a suit, the menus were not plastic. And - I got to eat in the kitchen! Not sure if that is an option for everyone, but I enjoyed the privacy. Our server was Terri. I never remember anyone's names but I remember hers. She had a terrific outfit on that reminded me of the Playboy Club back in the day. She wore it well. More impressive was her knowledge of the menu and specials. The food. We had blue cheese salads. Loved the blue cheese salad. Table bread was good quality. Entrées were large! I have a veal special and made it through less than half. It was really good. The best news? You can go here and have lunch, dinner or drinks and not have to go through airport security!

A delightful change from the ordinary. A friend and I learned about this place through Yelp when we were in Chicago and looking for something to do in the evening. The staff and customers(a group of customers appeared to be regulars) were friendly, the decor charming and old school and the piano man was fun and engaging. A definite must for someone looking for something off the beaten path and out of the ordinary, yet fun and relaxing. If you are not already at the airport and are driving in from elsewhere, I do recommend opting for garage parking versus the valet - MUCH cheaper and just as close and convenient.

Went here for a night out with the wife some months ago. Primarily, I am commenting on the dining experience. Overall I was not the least bit impressed. Food just wasn't good, there was a half-drunk patron singing (too loud) with the piano player by 7pm who sounded like a stoned cat through Metallica's PA system, and the whole place just wasn't what I expected. All that being said, if I were stuck at the airport for a couple of hours, I would DEFINITELY stop in for a drink. I really loved the history behind the Gaslight Clubs. If you know anything about Chicago, the Gaslight Club was the inspiration for Hugh Hefner starting the Playboy Clubs. Drinks=yes, Dinner=no.

Don't try the rack of lamb. They should take it off the menu. They burnt the outside and killed the whole lamb taste.

Food wasn't up to to par for the price. The asparagus was slaughtered with garlic and the steak lacked basic seasoning. However, the campy old "piano man" was quite enjoyable and made it enjoyable for a solo business traveler. Without him this place gets 2 stars. Of course, you need to sit in the bar area for that experience.

Flightless in Chicago!!! We figured a really nice dinner will get us out of a foul mood from being stranded in Chicago for a night. The seafood sampler platter was pretty good. My friend's lobster tail was good but a little over cooked. My bone in NY strip was good, but mediocre for a restaurant of this caliber. The entertainment in the bar was cool...it was free so what no complaints there. The best thing from this place was the really hot waitress from Bulgaria. She was really nice and friendly.

I did not eat, so I cannot attest to the food. However, I can say that I enjoyed the ambiance of the place. I did feel like a time machine took me back to the roaring 20s. If this place were anywhere else in the city it would probably be ruined by drunks and dueling pianos. As I sat in the corner and admired the huge chandelier I could almost feel my left arm lift to hold cigarette in my V shaped fingers, being dazzled by a boastful piano tune with a lady on my right knee. This place has gentleman's club written all over it. Think the beginning of "Schindler's List" where Oskar is pouring money on the table whilst people indulge in booze and sex. Although my feminist screams no, atmospherically, I think it would be a good time. Back to reality: I needed a quick and quiet place to have a drink with someone that had a quick lay-over. The other bar and restaurant in the Hilton were noisy and had too many televisions. If you're having dinner, I recommend the booths that looks comfy and private.

Best hidden gem ever! The waitstaff was great and the music was awesome. The only saving grace of a bland corporate hotel on the airport grounds.

As a caveat: i didn't have any food here, just experienced the ambience and drinks on two consecutive nights. While spending the weekend at a conference in the generally sterile, but thankfully unionized, O'Hare Hilton, one of my fellow attendees decided to skip the Chicago nightlife and go to the airport bar. Generally, that's a terrible choice unless you are just that tired that you can't make it out the front door of the hotel, but this was a lovely exception. I immediately began receiving texts about how amazing it was, being sent photos of pianos and torch singers and can can lines and flocked wallpaper. By the time I finally made it back to the hotel, the singing was just wrapping up for the night. As I approached the bar and looked at the photographs on the signs outside, I had one major question: IS THIS A STRIP CLUB??? Once inside, I realized that no, it was not a strip club--just a highly costumed piano bar. I had a drink and took in the atmosphere: velvet paisley on the walls, a giant chandelier above me, servers and bartenders aged 30s to 70s dressed in what amounted to sequined satiny leotards. It was clear we had to go back the next day. The next day, I got there earlier, by 11:00 pm. This time, we came en masse, bringing many of the other conference attendees in our wake. The pianist and singer were different than the previous day, and i appreciated that the piano player was a woman and the singer was a 75+ man with a bow tie and slicked back long white hair, who I kept wishing was my uncle because it would make family reunions so great. The song selection skewed pretty heavily toward songs from the 40s and 50s, with some nods to the more recent decades as well. The dozens of books atop the piano made me think that if we requested more current music, though, they could make it happen for us. The singer was engaging, performing duets with the pianist or audience members, bringing people up to dance, and generally using his personality to get everyone in on the act. This experience was incredible, and has forever changed my opinion on hotel bars. I will now always check to see what options are offered without leaving the confines of the hotel, so that I don't miss another hidden gem like the Gaslight Club.

The food was average to good, but definitely not outstanding. The decor is a throwback to the 1970s... or maybe to the 1910s. We sat in a high backed leather booth. The fake Tiffany lamps have old and slightly scary fixtures inside. There are faux bookshelves on the walls - the kind where it is obvious the shelf is glued to the wall and the book bindings are painted on the shelf. The real kicker was the waitresses uniforms - slinky low cut leotards, fishnet hose, tiny woven cord skirts - seriously sexist.

i was picking up my brother from the airport and met him there. i felt like i was back in the 70's brown leather booths. a huge shandalar in the middle of the room. the waitress's wear interesting outfits look like a playboy bunny costume minus the tail . so if your have flight i would check it out it a good laugh

Stuck at O'Hare International Airport again? Got a few hours to kill and wouldn't mind a drink, but don't want to fight the same dumb, loud, crazy crowd at the airports bars? Dislike getting elbowed at the C gate Chili's? Well, I've got just the place for you, an awesome, almost secret place to have a drink with calm serenity within the airport, but you will have to go through security again. It's called the Gaslight Club and is located in that big, black, Darth Vader looking building, the Hilton, in the middle of O'Hare Airport. Despite it's location in the bowels of a Hilton, almost nobody seems to know that this place at O'Hare even exists as it's really off the beaten path. In all my years of crazy business travel, which until just recently was pretty much weekly, it's nice to be able to find a little quiet sanctuary at the airport, away from the craziness. Even better if it's at an airport which is notorious for loooong delays and cancelled flights. I'd venture to say that out of the thousands of people who fly in and out of O'hare Airport every day, less than 1% even knows that this place exists. An older gentleman once told me that this Gaslight Club has been here at O'hare since '73 and that the first Gaslight Club opened in the fifties. Apparently, they were some kind of high end nightclub that caught on and at one time, there were Gaslight Clubs all over the world. I think this is the only one left now. Although they recently freshened-up the interior, it still looks pretty old which is not an entirely bad thing. I've never been here late at night, but have spent hours waiting for habitually late girlfriends (coming from Wisconsin) and business associates in the afternoon and early evening. Yes, it looks old and is far from a lively hot spot (it's pretty dead), but that's what I love about the place. It has a lot of character and you can sit there with a cocktail or nice glass of wine, imagining what the place must have been like in it's heyday, thirty years ago. The old world decor with crystal chandeliers, crazy wallpaper, and panelling allows you to drink in a calm, serene atmosphere totally different from anything you'd expect within the airport. It's like an entirely different universe. I've never seen this place truly jump, although later in the evening, there is a piano player that I thought was really good. He had a great way with the people in there and was doing more modern tunes as well as older ones which really made the wait a lot more fun and pleasant. There's a restaurant too, although I've never had dinner there. Over the years, I've even found myself arriving at the airport early, just so I could have a drink at the bar here. After crazy business meetings and the subsequent mad dash to the airport, this place gives me a little time to relax before I go back to the world of insensitive security check agents and the four hour flight with screaming babies (now in stereo!) on the airplane. I used to hate O'Hare. The way I see it, any reason to make me want to be there is a good one. Next time you're at O'Hare and have a little time to kill, it's definitely worth checking out. I'll think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

Should be judged relative to what it is: a throwback to an old movie about the upscape past, perhaps a hundred years ago. Frankly I don't know why it is not more popular than it is. Guests at the Airport Hilton mob into the sports bar, and a much smaller group gives this place a try. There is nothing unusual about that sports bar, but this place is far from usual. I often stay overnight at the O'hare Hilton for a plane change (I am in KC), and I find the Gaslight Club to be a novel alternative to the usual --- well worth its prices.

Let me start off by saying my experience at the Gaslight Club was nothing short of epic. I made the hike to the O'Hare Airport to drop off a friend, but because I'm not the most punctual individual on the planet he ended up missing his flight. Lucky for both of us I had a doobie in hand, so we found a spot to "chill" then decided that grabbing a drink was our next move. COOL! We'll just head over to the Hilton and see if there's a bar in there... "Gaslight Club? Aiight, whatever..." We walk in eyes low, unsure if the place is open or not; they certainly aren't serving food at this hour but I can hear someone playing the piano so we just follow the music... We stroll through the bar's entrance and walk straight to the bar where we are greeted by a scantily clad 70-something wearing what appears to be a Playboy bunny costume minus the ears and the tail. After a brief moment of innocent flirting with the lass we order a couple of (very strong) drinks and take a seat. Across from the seating is the stage which hosts a grand piano and the creepiest looking lounge singer I had ever seen. This guy looked like a combination of Howard Stern and Gargamel. Over the next fifteen minutes he jumped back and forth from Billy Joel to Elton John all while shooting hauntingly awkward looks at my friend and ignoring one drunk patrons "FREEBIRD!" request. By this time we realized that the madam at the bar was not the only server on duty. While seated we were helped by several well-endowed lovelies who were all on their A-game (or DD-game depending on how you look at it). Fast forward five minutes and a NYC businessman who had also missed his flight made himself comfortable at our table. Sweat dripping from his blubbery face he says to us "I can't believe this place. I think I'm going to have a heart attack. My wife is going to kill me. What am I doing here? I should've went to the sports bar." So... What's the verdict? If you're at the airport and you want a stiff drink and you can handle boobs in your face and a creepy ass lounge singer with a staring problem. HIT THIS PLACE UP! I will be back anytime I miss a flight or I have a layover. Oh, and CHEERS to Arnie from NYC!

The location may seem random, as this bar is at the O'Hare Hilton, but this club is anything but ordinary! This place looks like an old speakeasy, with ladies in fantastic corseted leotards to boot. The atmosphere is refined with live jazz and beautiful furnishings, reminiscent of the turn of the century. This place was the highlight of my trip to Chicago - I highly recommend that you stop by, even if it's on your way in and out of the airport!

Great steakhouse that features live piano nightly and can be quite busy so it's best to go early or go on Sunday evening. The pricing is high but it's pretty standard when you compare to any other Hilton Restaurant near an airport. I sat at the bar as I was alone on business travel. The bartender/waitress was in her traditional, 30's style garb and was quite pretty. She was also an excellent server. I started with a Kendall Jackson Cab and then ordered a NY Steak with Blackened seasoning and a side of sauteed mushrooms. The steak was just a touch overdone (I ordered Med Rare) and the Blackened seasoning was very light for my taste. Still, it was a superb piece of meat and the mushroom side was delicious as well. I wasn't in the mood for piano music this evening as the Television was on showing the first Sunday Night NFL game of the season. It's also very dark and I had to use the flashlight ap on my phone to read the menu. Overall a very good experience.

Great steakhouse with some atmosphere. It was a Sunday night and very dead which was a relief after traveling. The bartender (gaslight girl) was friendly and quick to refill. The filet was excellent while the calamari was the worst that I have ever had-reminded me of cardboard. Great wine list. Not cheap, but if you have a couple hour layover and want to enjoy your time, this is the place!

Dreadful. From the Las Vegas strippers waiting tables to the worst veal chop anyone could imagine, it's hard to think of an upside. The 'special sauce' in the shrimp cocktail was indistinguishable from ketchup, with just-thawed shrimp to boot. The 'veal' in the veal chop was hidden somewhere between layers of fat, gristle and bone. Badly cooked, but it would have taken a genius to turn that chop into something edible... No atmosphere, as the booths extend up about 6 feet, the only other people evident are the waitresses and their 'costumes' - seriously, you'd be embarrassed to take kids in there, or female guests. Or anyone, once the food comes out.
